Make room for the home gym

Carving a space for the home gym has its challenges. Bright large pieces of exercise equipment and comfortable living are not jibe. However, there are ways to seamlessly integrate both the Nerio Alessandri, Founder and president of Technogym.

For this to work, "should the gym not only be a place to work," said Alessandri whose Cesena, Italy-based company thousands of health centers and home gyms international "equipped in since 1983. My philosophy is, that there will be a social space "that he told family and friends welcomed.

Mr. Alessandri has called a large gym in the 15th century palace Cesena home. He says it is important to place the storage space in a part of the house, which may be in. "The gym should not be in a hidden area that be a part of the house, you should want to spend time," he says. Alessandri, is the gym on the first floor of his house "in an area where some nice sheets and lots of light are."

Mr. Alessandri fitness equipment side, said lighting and views for a workout space at home are essential because of the atmosphere that they create. "You have to inspire exercise," he said. "They want to create experiences, not just training. It should be an emotional experience, and light is important because it brings balance to the room. Created a relaxed and social atmosphere".

Because your home gym will be a place where family and friends spend enjoying time together, Mr. Alessandri has to move a library room and a juice bar, a sofa and large balls, stability encourages people off the couch, how to use additional seating.

"It is a social space," said Alessandri. "I wanted it to be an area that includes exercise, but I also love the culture and to build the body and mind."

The pieces of equipment Mr. Alessandri said are important for a good home gym, a treadmill includes or running, a mirror and if the room, free weights, an elliptical machine and maybe a station with ropes or straps and handles.

The choice of rooms with "an element of beautiful design" can fit the surrounding decor. "If you have a course more urban and edgy house, maybe you can go with pieces with a mirror finish," Alessandri said. "If you have a traditional or classic home that can go with pieces that have leather-dealer."

Or you can use the team colors and finishes, select your device fit. matt surfaces can be well mixed with fine designs or neutral interior, suggests Mr. Alessandri.

Sometimes it is seen well together as opposed work. In the house of the Lord Alessandri to gymnastics, decided "very, very urban minimum" of the investigation the parties concerned are in style and color of money modern, because it the way she likes to look at the 15th century. "I think the contrast is beautiful with historic buildings and modern facilities," he said. "It's like boutique hotels where these historic sites are mixed with the moment of conception."

Mr. Alessandri create a mirror is essential. "It is extremely important to use the correct form, helps injuries at work, as they prevent and ensures that the muscles in the right direction to develop," he said. With a mirror "that can monitor your form and make the necessary adjustments throughout the training."

Mirrors can improve touch the device, Mr. Alessandri. "A mirror can help a small room seem bigger and may put out the light and the texture of the piece," he said. "It is important that the home gym welcoming, stimulating and helps to improve their well-being, so that the addition of a mirror can certainly improve the aesthetics of the room, and they want to be in the room."

For those who have space for a home gym is limited, always Mr. Alessandri recommend a piece or two people in a room where you want to spend time. Songs with "small footprint", the designed apartments or small houses will be equipped as a wall station with cardio equipment recommended.

"Think about the experience of the team and how you want to train," Alessandri said. "If training is something very private for you, then maybe the bathroom. If you want to train with the family or a couple, perhaps the living room".

The danger with fitness equipment that has what it feels like no place in a room that are rarely used, Alessandri said. "It should be something that feels good."
